Signs of Revival of Islam

Even the death of a pious person can give away very strange signals. Hazrat Abid Ali Khan Sahab (RA) was encircled by divine Mercy a few days back. Here is the obituary report from normally staid the Hindu.

Moulana Abid Khan, the well-known face of the Tablighi
Jamaat, passed away here on Thursday morning after a brief illness. He
was 60.

He was admitted to Apollo Hospital on
complaints of renal failure soon after Ramzan. Later, he later slipped
into coma and died on Thursday morning. He is survived by two sons and
four daughters.

As news of his demise spread
thousands of people descended on his Tolichoki residence to catch a
glimpse of the saintly persona of ‘Abid Bhai’, as he was popularly
called.

The ‘namaz-e-janaza’ offered at Idgah Bilali
in Shantinagar, where he used to lead the Id prayers, attracted more
crowds than on the Id day. It was a virtual sea of humanity with people
coming from neighbouring districts to take part in the funeral prayers.

The
prayers scheduled to be held at 2 p.m. got delayed as the crowd swelled
leading to traffic jam all around. A sobbing Amire Jamaat, Naiymullah
Khan, led the prayers. The mortal remains of Moulana Abid Khan were laid
to rest at his family graveyard in Hakimpet.

A born
orator, Moulana Abid Khan was associated with the revivalist Tabligh
movement founded by Maulana Ilyas, right from his student days. He
devoted his entire life for the ‘dawah’ work which aims at enjoining
good and forbidding evil.
